Thankful

The Thanksgiving holiday week is behind us, but I'm still echoing in thankful thoughts. I'm thankful for the rest and break that the holiday provides and for which I purposefully rested. I'm thankful for family and friends that I got to spend time with, and those that I spent time reflecting on while they were far away. I'm thankful for the church I'm blessed to pastor. I'm thankful for the ability to watch God answer my prayers a little more each day as I continue to pray that my children will grow in wisdom and stature, in favor with God and man. I'm thankful for a wife that is many things I'm not and helps make me more of what I should be. I'm thankful to have run my first 5k race and accomplish a life goal. I'm thankful that my race number, 286, was greater than the weight at which I ran. I'm thankful for the volunteers that make this church work behind the scenes. I'm thankful that my dad got to enjoy thanksgiving at home instead of a hospital. I'm thankful that I can help him when I'm with him, and that by God's grace and favor one day he will no longer need my help.
